The weather was exquisite here in Las Vegas Sunday. It was 75-80 degrees under a cloudless sky with hardly any wind, so when Mother Nature pitches a weather gem like that it's Century Day.
I bicycled through Southern Highlands to St. Rose Parkway and headed over to the 215 and railroad trails to the River Mountains Loop Trail. Then it was back to the 215 trail west of Las Vegas to Summerlin with a pitstop at Las Vegas Cyclery before biking through Red Rock Canyon.
It was nice to see Calico Basin, the Spring Mountains Ranch State Park and Blue Diamond before I wrapped up the 100-miler.
Biking 100 miles takes mental discipline and belief in your biking stamina. It's also important to take breaks and drink water.
I like stopping to chat with people, too.
It added up to a wonderful century ride.

This bike ride was in the memory of my bicycle friend Harold Mitnick of Clearwater. Harold was a bicycle leader in Clearwater, Florida and my life was blessed to have met Harold and to have counted him as a friend.
